The Secret to Everything is
that Nothing Matters.
Nothing Matters.
Nothing
Matters.
All who try to make matters matter
End up a Mad Hatter
Bring on their disaster,
for Truly
Only two things matter.
Jesus Christ
Him Crucified
Died
Rose again
and then
My humility
An agility
to die
and realize
That I must not be a danger to anyone
and to say sorry sorry sorry so sorry
every day of my life.
Nothing matters
Not life or limb
Ugliness or handsome
Up or down
or in or out
my childhood
my future
for who am I?
If I give it all up
a carcass made to to smile
for the delight of others
a body made to behold
the lovliness of the beyond
after its deep and delightful death
Death is truth
for we all deserve to die.
Who is good inside?
No one, but Christ crucified.
And all else is nothing
So I can give it all up
Love
or hate
or delight
or wounds
Nothing matters
So I can give it all up.
I can drain the cup of my life
with a smile
For I will hold onto nothing.
Nothing matters
except for how much I
can daily die.
Nothing matters.
For so long
I tried to hold on
and give meaning to song
but nothing matters
So I don't even have to sigh.
My pain and my joy do not exist outside the space of heaven
So I can let go of everything.
Nothing is real
Nothing is here
Except for that which lies beyond.
The hater of my heart
And the hater of my soul
I hate him more than I love God.
And on him I will have my revenge
for he has tried to turn me against my God
by stealing my dance
stealing my mind
stealing my love
But I will drink tea quietly and smile
in his face
and since he is me
I have strange hatred mingled with compassion
Hater, you will not last.
I have quieted myself
to stare you down
and watch you tremble
as I sit quietly
Though you wished to steal my joy
and I stare right through you
as you wriggle, writhe, and weep
Thrown into the darkness
you wished upon me.
